Winged Green Bug


Another day, another bug.

I have no idea what kind of bug this is. Well, that's not true. It's the green bodied, blue-orange eyed kind, though you might not be able to see the orange in the eyes at this resolution.

More importantly, it's the kind that stayed still while I got close with the camera (which is why it's such a sharp shot).

If it had landed on a green branch instead of this dead scotch broom twig I'd have never even seen it.

Awesome job! Should be in a school textbook, then you'd get kids excited about science and the real workings of the world!

I've recently learned that this bug is called a Lacewing. Just thought I'd mention that.

I love the bug photos Kendall. That could be, like, your "thing". Specialty Insect Photographer. I'm serious! You really capture the "essence" of these creeping creatures.
